Nokia updates its offline Maps Suite for Symbian

Nokia is holding strong to its commitment to devices running on the older Symbian mobile OS by updating its Maps Suite to reflect the most recent road updates and locations.

New maps will have to be "cleaned" before the older ones are installed, a process which takes 5-10 minutes depending on which maps you have installed. The good news is all your current map info like Favorites is retained.

The new Maps version is versioned 2.50.103 and can be updated via Nokia Suite on your PC or OTA from the phone itself. To go the OTA way you have to go to 'Map Loader' from the settings menu in Nokia Maps, then tap on 'Check for Updates.'
